Chapter 166: Young Master Ye Is Jealous (IV)
Chu Wuyou was stunned and her eyelids twitched for a few seconds. She hung up the call when Zhixi left to retrieve something earlier, hence her daughter would call again unquestionably. She should have turned off the phone.
However, it was already too late.
“Answer it.” Ye Lanchen was standing by her bedside. Her phone was positioned on the bed and the caller ID flashing on her phone’s screen was blinding his eyes.
Dearest Darling!!!
What an endearment!
He was eager to see who the hell this Dearest Darling was.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the same person that made her laugh flirtatiously on the phone several times before.
Answering the call right now was the last thing that Chu Wuyou wanted. She wished she could decline the call and turn off the phone immediately. However, under Ye Lanchen’s murderous scrutiny, her fingers which were only an inch apart from the phone dared not do what her heart instructed.
“Go ahead, Chu Wuyou, I dare you to decline the incoming call,” Ye Lanchen yelled out of the blue as if he could read her mind.
Chu Wuyou’s fingers were just about to touch the phone at the same time he bellowed. She trembled slightly out of shock and she accidentally declined Zhixi’s invitation to the video call.
She really did that by mistake!!!
Although she reckoned he would never believe it anyway.
Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes immediately. His cold breath resembled stormy weather that was about to sweep the room.
Well, well, she was a daring woman indeed! She was bold enough to hang up the call!
Chu Wuyou gasped when she lifted her eyes to meet his gaze.
She who was normally cool-headed felt herself quivering at the sight of his deathly glare.
“I trembled and pressed the button by accident.” Chu Wuyou decided she should clarify no matter what he thought.
“Do you believe what you said?” Ye Lanchen continued fixing his gaze on her through his narrowed eyes. There was a murderous intent that was dying to tear her into pieces.
Even the most gullible person on earth would not believe what she had just said.
“I do.” Chu Wuyou was taken aback but then she nodded immediately. Of course she believed herself. Besides, what she said earlier was the truth.
“Pressed on the wrong button by accident, huh?” Ye Lanchen witnessed her innocent face and suddenly laughed. His reaction probably came out of extreme exasperation.
He should not have wasted time speaking nonsense with her.
“Yup,” Chu Wuyou replied and nodded again. She felt her neck getting sore after looking up at him for a long while, but she remained seated and did not change her position.
The corners of Ye Lanchen’s lips curled upward into a smile at her stubbornness. Then, he parted his lips slowly to give the order. “Sure, I’ll give you a second chance. Return the call right now.”
He was giving him a chance to rectify her mistake.
Ye Lanchen would not leave until he put a face to the person named Dearest Darling.
What kind of person was capable of stealing her heart? So much that she would call from time to time? Not to mention speaking over a video chat with so much enthusiasm.
Chu Wuyou was stunned because she thought he would brush it off. She never expected him to instruct her to return the call.
When she met his gaze in the next second, she believed wholeheartedly that he would strangle her to death if she refused to follow his order.
Chu Wuyou knew that the matter would drag on if she did not do what was told.
She remembered that they were only in a contract marriage and that Meng Ruoting was the person that he was in love with. Therefore, she reckoned the fact that she had children would not matter to him.
According to her understanding of this man, even if he learned about the two darlings, he would probably keep it a secret and would not do anything that could inflict harm onto the children.
Chu Wuyou finally heaved a sigh once she arrived at that conclusion. She picked up her phone slowly, selected Zhixi’s account on WeChat, and invited her to a video call.
